@team18f.bsky.social had a great track record. I remember reading their guidance a few years back and thinking how great it would have been to work with their team. #digital #dodge
18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

We're not done yet | 18F

@stephenjenkinson.bsky.social Hey Stephen. Any plans to make the pavement extensions on Hillside Crescent permanent? They are a good addition to slow traffic sweeping in from London Road, but remain a pandemic era eyesore! Junction is exceptionally wide for pedestrians. Thanks :)

Quasi-religious beliefs have ended 200 years of European growth, author argues
Political movements—some pseudo-religious in their beliefs—preach that growth is bad, and must be stopped.

When you view your roadmap from today forward, you tend to forget that today = the sum total of many decisions in the past. This is why the near term is more "locked" while the cone of uncertainty expands as you move into the future

Designing a simple service is relatively easy.
Designing a simpler service while bounded by a range of immutable constraints is the actual work.
It's messy. You need tech with you from the start to help you understand the mess.

The extent of global sea ice cover remains record small for this time of year. Both poles are unusually low, but the largest departure is currently coming from the extreme event in the Antarctic.
